Installation of the Pointless Window Manager

* Requirements

PLWM requires Python 1.5.2 or newer, which can be downloaded from
http://www.python.org/.  It has been tested with Python 1.5.2, 2.0 and
2.1. 

It also requires the Python X Library 0.8 or newer, which can be
downloaded from http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/.


* Configuring

PLWM uses autoconf to make installation fairly painless.  Simply run
./configure to install with defaults (plwm and wmm in
/usr/local/bin, Python modules in whatever directory Python is
installed in).


To install in another program directory, use --prefix, --exec-prefix
or --bindir.

To install the modules in some other directory than a the default
site-packages (typically /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages) specify
that directory as an argument to --with-python-path.

If the Python X Library isn't in Python's module path (PYTHONPATH or
sys.path), the location can be specified with --with-python-xlib.

Normally examples/examplewm.py is installed as plwm, but this can be changed
with --enable-plwm.  To install examples/petliwm.py instead, use:

  ./configure --enable-plwm=examples/petliwm.py

To inhibit installation of the program plwm use --disable-plwm.


The Window Manager Manager is installed as wmm, this can be disabled
by using --disable-wmm.


* Building

No building is required, as there's no C code in PLWM.


* Installing

Just type:

  make install

  
* Using plwm without installing

PLWM can be run from the distribution tree (you must run configure
first, though).  Start it with e.g. (if you dearchived the distribution
in /home/foo):

  /home/foo/plwm-2.0/examples/examplewm.py
